Olloclip is 3-in-1lens system for the iPhone 4/4s and iPhone 5 and this is my review.
Olloclip includes three different lenses: a Fisheye, Wide-Angle and Macro lens. In the package you will also find lens caps for both ends, a microfiber bag for storing that can be used as a cleaning cloth and a user guide.
On one side there is a 180 degree Fisheye lens, while on the other are the Wide-Angle and Macro lens. To access the Macro lens you need to unscrew and remove the Wide-Angle lens
The build quality is excellent, the clip is made from strong plastic, the barrels are made from anodized aircraft grade aluminum, while for the lenses, Olloclip uses precision ground glass multi-element optics. It’s light, compact and easy to carry around with you.
The Olloclip is exceptionally easy to use, just slide the clip on to the corner of your iPhone and you are ready to go. Another positive it works with all photo apps in the App Store.
The Fisheye lens captures a nearly 180 degree field-of-view.
The Wide-Angle lens doubles the field of view of the iPhone camera and is great for when you need that extra field of view.

The Macro lens is really impressive and my favorite, it magnifies your image roughly 10 times and allows you to focus within 12 to 15 mm of the subject you’re photographing.
The only drawback is that you can’t use the flash with Olloclip. It’s also worth to mention that you can’t use Olloclip if you have a case or a bumper on your iPhone, anyway I don’t want to hide my “beauty” under some plastic bulky case so not a problem for me (be careful, it may damage your screen and (or) back protector too).
I was little worried that constantly attaching and removing the Olloclip will scratch the back of my iPhone, but believe me, for the past couple of weeks I attached and removed the Olloclip countless times and there is not a single scratch on the back/ front nor on the bezel of my iPhone 5.
Olloclip 3 in 1 camera lens kit is available for the iPhone 4/4S (iPod touch 4th Generation adapter included in the package) and the iPhone 5 in three colors: black (black clip with black lenses), white (white clip with black lenses) and red (black clip with red lenses) and retails for $69.99.
Summing up all pros and cons, it can be concluded that the Olloclip is probably the best lens solution for the iPhone. Highly recommended!
